Default 6 cells into 1

Hi folks...
I'm going to try this again...
M N O P Q R S
1 Start Start
2 Run Run
3 Finish Finish
4 Start Start
5 Finish Finish
6 Done Done
ect...

I do a vlookup for one at a time Coulmns M-R and only 1 out of the 6 lookups
will find data. I need to disregard the blank cells and copy the data to of
the populated cells to coulmn S
Thanks for the help,
DJ

Hi
do you only have one entry per row or if not what should happen if you
have more than one entry in a row?

For only one entry try the following formula in S1:
=LOOKUP(REPT("Z",255),M1:R1)
and copy this down

Hi
my formula would always take the last entry so it should work for you.
But as stated in the other response: No chance to get the color as well
